Read MoreThis is a wonderful recipe and since having developed it, it has become one of our family’s favorite. The spice mix with the lime zest and the splash of lime juice on the chicken gives the chicken a certain very special something! Trust me when I say you must make this recipe and it will become a favourite in your home too. I roasted sweet potatoes, beets and then added corn in to roast after a few minutes as well to keep it tender and moist – the corn can go in with the sweet potatoes and beets if you want the corn really roasted. This combination is rather unconventional and works really well. The colour on your plate is beautiful and the nutrition you will consume is wonderful and so healthful!
Read MoreThis is an easy and versatile chicken recipe as you can make it to bake in the oven or to cook on the BBQ. I make my own Hoisin sauce but you can use a store-bought version as well. Making your own sauces is always preferable as you can use the best ingredients, no preservatives and control the amount of sweetness and salt. Using store-bought sauces are fine, just don’t add additional salt to the recipe!
Read MoreHomemade sauces, like my hoisin sauce recipe, are quick and easy to make and add more nutrition to your meal. I prefer to make my own sauces so I can control the ingredients, making sure they are top quality, limit the amount of sugar and salt that goes into it and leaves out the commercial additives that our bodies don’t need, like preservatives, chemical colour and thickening agents and they taste so fresh and flavourful!
